P-I-C-K-Y, P-I-C-K-Y

While we visited one of the local state parks here in Las Cruces New Mexico, Man decided to get up front and personal, err, down bottom and picky:

And, just minutes before discovering these burrs, he dug one of these out of the front of his shoe.

Let me tell you, that was something interesting to witness.  Those barbs dug into his shoe leather, deep.  Surprised they did not go right through the leather.  Seriously!

Man tells me he thinks he will stay on the path from now on and out of the cacti gardens!
